goose491 0 #1 May 12, 2005 Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew about an email with "Parachute" as the subject. It has no text body and there is a 4.2MB attachment entitled "Parachute.mpg". I received this yesterday and I do not recognize the sender or any of the names in the reciepient list. I am obviously reluctanct to open it but curious about it's contents. What say you guys?

kelel01 1 #4 May 12, 2005 This might make me sound like a bad person, but I used to open attachments with reckless abandon when I was on one of my school's computers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #5 May 12, 2005 Quotedo you have a “sacrificial lamb” pc hanging round you can open it on? I don't... per say I should have made this a poll: "Should I open the mysterious email at work?" a) No that would be irresponsible b) Screw 'em! Down with the coorporation! Seriously, I'm half-expecting someone to have seen this one already. If so, I really thought it should be posted here for the number of people that will take the subject to mean the email is a proper one. I have emailed the sender. I will keep you posted on that.

I agree with Matt/panzwami, do a reply to that e-mail. Usually, if it is a spam/bogus e-mail it will most certainly bounce back to you as "undeliverable" or something like that. If it is a valid e-mail address then the sender can identify him/herself then you will know. I would not open it as it is.
